My guest this week is the founder of a powerful agency proptech – Shaun Moriarty, co-founder and CEO of Campaign Agent. 

Shaun had more than 15 years experience in financial services, strategic risk management for new markets and technology, before a conversation on a ski-lift with an old friend who worked in real estate led to the formulation of CampaignAgent – a proptech that provides payment solutions for real estate agencies – in the form of easy to access finance for vendor paid marketing, agent commissions and even a form of bridging finance. 

In this interview we talk about the depth and breadth of the real estate finance space which is much bigger than I realised. According to Shaun, the average marketing expenses of a sales campaign is around $4,900 a property and when you offer financial solutions to sellers, they are likely to invest 10 to 20% more in their campaigns. 

And his skiing mate, Seth Watts, well he became his co-founder.
